since there are the vents on the side, does the sound leak? can others hear it?

I wanted to get these to watch lectures for school (sometimes in the library). Will others hate me for leaking sound with these?

the design is fully "open" not "semi-open" so yes, as the sound will leak in either case.

These headphones are semi open back design. They sound much airier and natural compared to the closed back kind design. However on the downside, they do leak to some extent, specially on higher volumes. Others will be able to hear the higher freq. but will not be able to distinguish what is being played. Hope this helps.

Yes, they are open air design, so everyone will probably hear what you're hearing if they're in the same room. Because of this, I have not taken mine to work. If you listen quietly you can't hear the sound leaking, but at the level I like to listen (mildly loud) people can easily tell what you're listening to.

I think the sound leakage is generally quite low. It is worth noting however that the microphones will pick up any non-continuous noise in the room around you, so if you have others around you, everyone will hear them in a call.

No detectable noise and no fan that I saw. However, there are vents along the side so I'm guessing there is some kind of ventilation system to keep it cool. Whatever or however it does that, noise is not a factor.

Not and hear it. It is very water proof but does not sound good unless in the tub in a sealed room. Very low loudness level. We can never hear ours outside unless quiet at night.

Yes. It's noisy when air moves through with the unit off, when it's windy outside. It's probably best to use an outside vent cover that has a good built in flap.

It drowns out loud sounds from down the hall. I can't honestly say about right next door. It does have a loud volume on it.

Haven't noticed any noise at all. We only have my husbands side in use because he gets cold easy and I keep my side turned off because I am plaged with hot flashed and supply my own heat naturally. If both sides are turned on then maybe there would be a sound but I haven't checked it out. I'm a light sleeper so any sound would keep me awake all night.

They aren't vented, but do have a small piece of rubber on the back that they might be using like a passive radiator... in any case, no, they don't leak any sound. I'd recommend buying some comply tips for these... they really make a great seal with the ear and are even more comfortable than the already good stock eartips. love these headphones, BTW. Not the best I've heard, but better than my shure se-210s my a large margin. Compared to my westone UM2 headphones, they're bigger, but not necessarily better... in the same ballpark.

Nope, there aren't any holes for sound to leak. My Brother'd have them up all the way, couldn't hear a thing.

No. I have this unit in another room and can hear the unit when on max high. Also one of the loofers was not working properly, so I have to adjust it by hand. It is caused by the molded plastic getting caught when the top looters tries to open when I turn it on.

It is not too loud, but it is noticeable due to the fact that the fan is attached to a metal box. I have mine tucked away in a place where I do not hear it unless I'm near it. The benefits outweigh the any sound it produces. You have the option of turning the fan off, if your device has a fan. I prefer having the fan of the box and my device on for optimal cooling. I hope this helps!

Yes, I can hear it just a little when outside the closed door. We usually keep ours on the second setting because that's enough noise for each of our kids.

There isn't that much of a leak because the headphones do almost a perfect job at doing this. People will hear what you're listening if you have it have it full blast though.

No. They're closed back, so the sound is mostly muffled to an outside listener. They'll hear something if you have it loud enough. But they're mostly isolated.

No worries there's no sound leakage. Nobody will be able to hear what you are listening

No. But the speaker in the front center can be covered/blocked easily to at least make the music more quiet (though the fan remains loud regardless).

Yes they leak too much sound to not annoy someone who is only a few feet away or maybe even 20 feet away in a quiet setting.
